Sakura Bloom At Chung 95-1 road

Two weeks, sakura bloomed at Chung 95-1 road.

On the road, there were three homeless doggies living there.   Two were in yellow color and one was in black.    I couldn't understand why people threw them there.

Almost no house standing on the middle part of the road was where doggies thrown.  They couldn't find food at all.   They were too slim to be seen bone.

I hope from now on, all the people who want to throw dog please please do throw them in the downtown street.   So that it's easy for dog to find food.

Sakura Bloom At Xiangbi

Xiang Bi village is 6.7km farther from Shi Lin village.

Last week I went there, no one welcomed me but some dogs.  Dogs recognized that
I was the stranger.

The total residents are less than 100 families.  They are  Atayal tribe.  I saw the young
man work in the field with machine.  They plant strawberry.  They are right that strawberry
can bring them good profits.  I didn't see any Hakka there.   I felt only Atayal tribe live
there only.

There are two roads connecting Xiang Bi to outside: one is road 47 from Shi Lin
Power Station (next to Tao Shan) and the other one is road Zhong Xiang leading to
Da Hu by passing Da La Gang.

It's 35.3km driving to reach Xue Jian travel center.  There are four Atayal villages
on the way.
